I still don't get why you want a mount option. Sure during development it can be nice.. but do you still want it in the production trees?? (I understand that for small blocksizes you need to fallback code, fine, no problem, but why do you want to make it an *option* instead of automatic) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
